Concerns Grow for Secure Mobile Payments


Industry and Consumer Concerns Grow for Secure Mobile Payments

Admeris Meets Demand for Smartphone Payment Security
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 11, 2011) -Attention: Business and Technology Editors
The explosion of new mobile payment products entering the market and the rapid rise in smartphone transactions has raised concerns between cyber security experts and consumer organizations with increasing calls to implement protective standards for mobile payments.
Admeris Payment Systems Inc.Leading academics in computer science and cryptography suggest many mcommerce payment solutions have sacrificed security for convenience which is a frightening prospect. A recent study confirmed that 61% of iPhone users and 46% of Android users want the option to make secure mobile transactions from their smartphone. Admeris' intelligently-designed PCI-compliant OneTouch mobile payments platform was developed to meet five security objectives the company believes is necessary to process secure mobile payment transactions.
The security objectives include:
  • Confidentiality based on strong cryptographic security design
  • Authentication based on dual-layer technology that encrypts non-personal smartphone identification with customer credit card information
  • Integrity which ensures that all transaction information remains intact and unalterable with strong cryptographic digital signatures
  • Authorization which guarantees that all parties involved in the transaction are permitted to do so with the use of digital certificates
  • Non-repudiation to ensure that any transaction was not made on a customer's behalf without their knowledge with the use of digital signatures
Consumer Reports, a nonprofit testing and information organization, has raised calls for protective mobile payment policies which Admeris supports and applauds. Admeris' OneTouch mobile commerce solution protects consumers and merchants with proactive policies to reduce fraud, charge disputes or processing mistakes. Merchants have chosen Admeris to process mobile transactions today - without having to wait for complicated wallet or infrastructure solutions that may be years from reality in the market. Consumers can enjoy one-touch convenience on repeat transactions without the need for account setup or login, leading to higher conversion and impulse purchases.
"We've worked with the foremost leaders in cryptography and have created a highly secure yet simplified way to transact using a credit or debit card on a mobile phone," says Simon Law, Chief Technology Officer for Admeris. "We're confident about meeting merchant, consumer and industry security demands."

Spendvision's New eMoney Module Enables Businesses to Track and Manage NFC Transactions

July 11, 2011 09:00 ET
New Software Module Enables Efficient Reporting, Management and Integration of Purchases Made Using Digital Cash
LONDON--(Marketwire - Jul 11, 2011) - Spendvision, a global provider of total transaction management solutions, today announced the availability of its new eMoney module, which allows businesses to capture, manage and report on purchases made using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. The module will enable eMoney transactions to be integrated with all other types of spend, making it easier for staff to record all expenses, irrespective of the payment method used, ultimately affording businesses greater insight into what employees are spending.
Momentum is growing for services that enable consumers to purchase low value items by tapping their mobile phone or a pre-paid card against a reader at the checkout. Indeed, Juniper Research recently predicted that global NFC mobile contactless payment transactions will reach nearly $50 billion worldwide by 2014. However, as more employees start buying goods and services in this way, enterprises are faced with significant challenges as they attempt to incorporate digital cash into the overall picture of corporate spend.
"NFC is hugely topical at the moment, and our new eMoney module allows these transactions to be dealt with in exactly the same way as any other business expense that may traditionally have been made with credit card or cash," said Shane Bruhns, COO of Spendvision. "Employees can simply manage transactions from their pre-paid card or device alongside other expenses on a single platform that can be accessed anywhere and anytime. This eliminates the need to manually enter details of the transaction, improving accuracy and making the process much quicker and easier for employees and finance teams."
Spendvision's new module is available worldwide, with the company expecting initial uptake to be most significant in Japan, where the use of NFC is more advanced.
"In Japan, eWallets and digital cash have been around for years and take up is high as a result of the integration with the travel network," continued Bruhns. "The convenience of simply tapping a device against a reader to make a payment is ideal, which is why a third of the population use eMoney and transactions account for more than 1.25 trillion yen. Payments made with digital cash are commonly expensed by employees, and we believe this will soon be the case in other areas of the world. As the only global provider of a solution capable of managing eMoney expenses across any currency, language and territory, we are well positioned to capitalise on our knowledge in managing these kinds of transactions and apply it elsewhere."
The new eMoney module will also help businesses to manage the split between private and business spending. With the line between work and personal spend blurring, having a single mobile device or eMoney card is becoming the norm and it is vital that businesses are able to easily identify who needs to pay for what. Spendvision facilitates this by enabling employees to select which transactions are business-related on their card or device.
"As employees increasingly begin to use 'wave and pay' technology to pay for anything from transport fares to newspapers, from refreshments to stationary supplies, businesses will need to find a way of incorporating these payments into the expenses mix," continued Bruhns. "With so many low value transactions to be accounted for, the key to integrating them with other types of expense is to provide employees with a simple, quick way to log and manage all their payments, including eMoney. That's exactly what our new module does."
The eMoney module is available as an 'opt-in' upgrade to the Spendvision platform, a secure Software as a Service (SaaS) application, meaning that companies do not have to invest in, install or maintain any hardware or software. The module can be configured to work with any processor of eMoney.
About SpendvisionSpendvision is a leading innovator of transaction management solutions. Through just one technology platform Spendvision delivers more effective purchasing that increases business profitability, improves decision making and delivers greater control and compliance. All this across the broadest range of transactions from simple cash, card, online travel bookings and telecoms right through to interactive coding, requisitions and dynamically funded accounts.
